This review for ASRock review rebate program. I built a new computer and was waiting for the B550 Phantom board by Asrock to come out. This board makes the new computer very fast. The games play like never before. I glide through each screen effortlessly. I am so happy that this board came out when it did. Thanks Asrock for making it.

I am a first time micro ITX builder in a Cooler Master Elite 130 case. This MB seems to be, and is, a great fit. The main MB issue I had was flashing to the new 5600G BIOS file with the Q-flash Plus. Two of THREE USB drives with IDENTICAL FAT32 format and files were not recognized. A single LED flash and nothing after power on. The third USB went fine. Flashing LED as I expected the first two times. No clue so just be aware it seems to not be broken per say, but SOMETHING isn't compatible. After that was figured out...or trial and errored into really, the USB ISO W10 file boot went just fine. All HW went in and was seen properly. Very easy initial system set-up. For power usage set to economy in the W10 power plan the entire system sips 65 watts under my streamer use. Part of that is the AMD CPU seems to be real efficient but it all adds up. The cooler, CPU and case seem well matched. The MB does have three headers, 2 system one in front and one in back, and one CPU so for a small case you can get decent fans help. Nice. The on board m.2 set-up is fine for most users with one NVMe speed and one SATA speed on the bottom (no room above!). PLENTY fast. I can't tell read or write speed differences except with a test. The tests seem to say I should but I don't on typical files.
